Interview for Student Teaching

Professional dress and comportment are important Be well groomed and self-confident. Make eye contact with your interviewer. Show your enthusiasm for teaching, for your subject, and

most of all, for working with youngsters. Be well prepared to discuss:

your background and courses your philosophy of education a lesson/unit you planned and/or taught

Familiarize yourself with the school/district prior to your interview

In Closing…

During student teaching, theory and practice converge in the field.

You will make a transition from student status to professional status.

Be reflective, be open to new experiences, take risks, and grow.

Good luck - you have our full support!
